Hilarious Moments Unfold in Charity Match Featuring Djokovic & Sabalenka

The stage is set for the Australian Open, with the highly anticipated first Grand Slam of the season kicking off on January 14th. As a prelude to the mega event, tennis enthusiasts were treated to a delightful charity match at the Rod Laver Arena, featuring none other than ATP World No.1 Novak Djokovic and WTA World No.2 Aryna Sabalenka in a mixed doubles showdown against Maria Sakkari and Andrey Rublev.

However, amidst the friendly competition, things took a comical turn. Djokovic, positioned at the net, resorted to hand gestures to guide Sabalenka in executing the perfect serve. Much to the amusement of the crowd, the Belarusian seemed a bit puzzled, unable to decipher Nole’s signals.

The 25-year-old, in good spirits, assumed her serve position but had to pause when Djokovic’s gestures left her befuddled. In a lighthearted exchange, she humorously remarked about being treated to a “beautiful view” as her partner playfully wiggled his butt at the net, prompting cheers from the entertained audience.

Even their opponents’ teammate, Sakkari, joined in the banter, adding an extra layer of fun to the charity match. With laughter echoing through the arena, this pre-Australian Open event showcased not only the tennis prowess of these stars but also their ability to share a good laugh on the court.
